Macabre Trilogy Act 1

By P.B. Thompson

A macabre trio of horror short stories that include:

Brain Power:
Gerry Mclane is one of those lazy novelists. He has more excuses about why he hasn't finished a novel than there are sunny days in England. This soon changes when he is told about experiments on the brain that promise to increase his productivity. All is well until the fragility of the mind manifests itself in a terrifying way.

Greed Leads to Feed:
Even the horror stories about the long time abandoned house can't put Byron and Harry off. The lure of potential riches a big motivator. Saturday was the night. But what was it the night for?

A new home in the suburbs. Beware!
